Pebble in the stream Lava flowing on the hill Our words change slowly Frothing surf atop the waves The tide comes and the tide goesWords are given thoughts which may melt old rocks and clog streams which feed the seasSeven seas brim too slowly Attentuate too swiftlySea eels verb each noun So what if fish tell lies, Yang? Seals live on white lies, Yen.Slippery tongues obfuscate The truth and lie in all huesPure truth absent hue Lie enfolds germ - tainted truth Waves pound shore, cleanse truth. Truth's diamond never corrodes But refracts to each their hue.Flood cedes, growth anew Diamond of truth commands view Wisdom pores, like dew. Dewdrops catch morn’s light - reflects And grows a new sun’s imageDeep within earth's bosom life Begins. Joy! Sunrise! What urge, beauty? Seed divine.Green shoots break through the black earth: Fibrous flags of green, still furled.Beauty is truth. Truth Beauty. That is all ye know. All ye need to know. John Keats (1795-1821) Ode on a Grecian Urn http://snipurl.com/cy5v

About $300.
Many years ago I worked with a guy who spent a lot of money at auctions, and he used his MasterCard to pay for a Greek funerary urn, and I got his mother to find the receipt, which I had framed with the title "Owed on a Grecian Urn." Sometimes it's thankless being a punster but someone has to do it. Even if you have to eat pottery de foie gras!
Really. I'm china quit. That was a fiesta resistance.
